Community college courses taught by qualified high school teachers during the high school day for dual credit (high school and community college credit). 2. Community college courses offered just for high school students during the normal school day at either the high school or at the community college and taught by either a qualified high school or community college instructor for dual credit. 3. High school students attend their community college during the school day for dual credit. 4. High school students attend their community college outside of the school day and with high school permission earn dual credit. 5. High school teachers bring high school students to the community college and teaches a community college course for dual credit. The incentives for offering dual credit programs may be obvious: 1. College course enrich the academic experience for able high school students. 2. High schools and community colleges maximize their resources to better utilize and to save high school students and their family’s time and money toward a college degree. 3. Expanded partnerships between high schools and community colleges ensure a seamless transition for high school students. 4. The quality of these dual credit courses is exceptionally high as teams of high school and community college faculty work to keep them challenging and to ensure fair assessment of student learning. Guidelines for dual credit: Instructors: Instructors must be similarly qualified whether they are high school teachers or community college instructors. Transfer course instructors must have a Master’s degree in the discipline area and career/occupational instructors must have baccalaureate degrees in the discipline and related work experience. Students: Students will have the opportunity to enroll in two types of courses – college transfer courses and/or career-occupational courses. After the students have successfully completed the partnership course(s) the students will receive grades for the course(s) from their high school as well as Lewis and Clark Community College. Grades will be recorded on the high school and Lewis and Clark Community College transcript. Students must meet all college criteria and follow all college procedures for enrolling in credit courses. For example, all high school students seeking to enroll in a dual credit course must complete the reading subtest of the College Placement Test. The only exceptions are students who seek to enroll in the following courses: JOBS 132, JOBS 133, and OTEC 119. Students seeking to enroll in college-level English and/or Math courses must first complete and achieve college level scores on the Reading and Sentence Skills subtests for English and the Mathematics subtest for Math. 3|Page ADMINISTRATION High School Partnerships Enrollment Services CONTACT LIST Dr. Dale Chapman, President 618 468-2000 618 466-4044 fax [email protected] Dr. Linda Chapman, Vice President Academic Affairs 618 468-4000 618 468-2341 fax [email protected] Lori Atris, Vice President Administration 618 468-3000 618 466-7173 fax [email protected] Kent Scheffel, Vice President Enrollment Services 618 468-5000 618 468-7182 fax [email protected] Dr. Susan Czerwinski-Aljets, Dean Career Programs 618 468-4800 618 468-7120 fax [email protected] Jill Lane, Dean Transfer Programs 618 468-4900 618 468-7171 fax [email protected] HIGH SCHOOL PARTNERSHIPS & COMMUNITY EDUCATION Yvette McLemore, Director High School Partnerships & Community Education Ctrs. 618 468-5050 618 468-7185 fax [email protected] HIGH SCHOOL PARTNERSHIP & COMMUNITY EDUCATION STAFF Amy Schweitzer, Secretary High School Partnership 618 468-5051 618 468-7187 fax [email protected] Kelly Wilson, Coordinator Macoupin County Education Center 217 854-5400 217 854-3758 fax [email protected] Laura Yowell, Assistant Macoupin County Education Center 217 854-5400 217 854-3748 fax [email protected] Tim Gwillim, Coordinator Tri-County Community Education Center 618 498-6500 618 498-2560 fax [email protected] Linda Morgan, Assistant Tri-County Community Education Center 618 498-6500 618 498-2560 fax [email protected] Tim Bell, Manager N.O.

These courses have been “articulated” through a joint agreement between the College and the High School. The program is free for students and parents. Unlike traditional college classes, there is no charge for tuition or books. You don’t have to go to Lewis and Clark Community College after high school to use your college credit. Each semester hour of credit you earn may be transferable to another college or university. Many dual credit courses transfer as core level requirements (general studies); others may transfer as electives. (Some vocational courses may not transfer at all, depending on your program of study.) Contact the college or university you plan to attend to learn more about how they apply transferred credit. To learn more about how credit transfers between colleges in Illinois, visit www.itransfer.org. Most dual credit courses require you to score appropriately on the College Placement Test. Only students who achieve required minimum scores may register for college credit. When you complete a dual credit course, your grade will be entered on your Lewis and Clark transcript. You may view your grade report or an unofficial copy of your transcript by logging on to the BlazerNet Student Web Services system on the Lewis and Clark Web site: www.lc.edu. College Placement Test Students enrolled in most high school partnership courses must score appropriately on the Reading Comprehension portion of the College Placement Test (some courses also require a Sentence Skills test and/or a Math test). On the other side of this page is a sample list of the courses offered for college credit and the minimum placement test scores you must earn to qualify for college credit. The multiple-choice test is administered online and is scored immediately. Most students complete the test in less than an hour. Your Transcript The grades you earn in dual credit courses are entered on your Lewis and Clark Community College transcript. You may have your transcript sent to colleges or universities of your choice at no charge. Transcript requests must be made in writing. For more information, call the LCCC Enrollment office at 468-2222 or any of the Community Education Centers. Withdrawal Dates If you decide that you do not want college credit for your course for whatever reason, you may withdraw with a “W” on High School Partnership Coordinators your transcript by the withdrawal date. Withdrawal requests MUST be made in writing.

Preparation of instructor: Master’s degree in the discipline to be taught under the partnership. A minimum of three years experience in teaching the discipline. Transcripts must be reviewed by the appropriate College faculty and the Dean. Facilities: A visit by the Dean and/or appropriate departmental faculty will be arranged to determine if the facilities (including laboratories, if applicable) and equipment to be used are appropriate for the course(s) to be taught. For courses in mathematics, the availability of appropriate graphing calculators will be considered as a part of the approval process. Textbook and Laboratory Manuals The textbook to be used in a partnership course must be approved by the appropriate college faculty. Ideally, the same textbook will be used in the partnership course as that used in oncampus courses. If the same textbook is not used, it must be approved by the College faculty as being equivalent. Laboratory manuals, where applicable, must be the same or equivalent to those used by the College. Again, equivalency will be determined by the College faculty. Course Content: The course under consideration as a HSP course must require, at a minimum, a full year of high school coursework in that discipline as a prerequisite for enrollment in that course. For example, if a high school offers a two-year sequence of biology courses, with the first being a prerequisite for the second, only the second course will be considered as an HSP course 9|Page A course outline must be submitted to the College for approval. The course content must cover all topics covered in the master syllabus for the course. Copies of the appropriate college syllabi will be made available to the high school faculty. Syllabi are also available through the Lewis and Clark website at www.lc.edu. It is understood that courses may cover more topics due to the greater number of weeks in the high school semesters. This is certainly acceptable. In those courses involving a laboratory component, the course must, at a minimum, provide the same laboratory experiences found in the on-campus college course. Again, additional experiments are certainly permissible. Partnership courses in Biology must include laboratory practical examinations. The required minimum of practical examinations will be two per course (one per high school semester). Assessment of Student Learning: The College is to be provided with copies of the major examinations given during the partnership course. If the on-campus course includes a common final examination for all sections of the course, then students in the partnership course will be required to complete the examination as well. Miscellaneous Issues: Change of Instructors: It should be remembered that an integral part of the high school partnership program is matching a properly credentialed instructor to the course to be taught. If the instructor for the course is changed, the College is to be notified immediately and credentials for the new instructor are to be submitted to the College for review and approval. Advanced Placement Courses: If a course that is being considered for inclusion in the HSP has been offered by the high school as an AP course, then reports showing a history of student performance on AP exams should be submitted as a part of the approval process. 10 | P a g e High School Partnership (HSP) Approval Procedures. Course Approval: The high school instructor will submit the district approved Course Outline for the articulated course(s). Instructor Approval: The high school instructor’s district approved course outline, Information Sheet, Resume` along with a copy of their college transcripts will be submitted to the HSP office. Transcripts may come from the Superintendent’s or ROE office (unofficial copies are accepted). When the documents are received in the LC HSP Department, an approval form is attached and the packet is sent to the appropriate HSP Program Coordinator/Dean for review and consideration. If approved, the documentation is signed and returned to the LC HSP Department. The approved course is then inserted on the HSP web site. The HSP Secretary will send out approval letters to the instructor, principal and CEC Coordinator to whom the school is assigned to. If the course articulation/instructor is denied, the LC Coordinator/Dean will submit a letter of explanation to the LC HSP Department. A cover letter is attached and sent to the appropriate high school, instructor and Lewis and Clark personnel. Notification will also be sent to the appropriate CEC Coordinator. Professional Development: All HSP instructors are required to attend annual discipline specific professional development activities to continue their partnership.

NACEP accreditation validates the quality of college courses offered in high schools and ensures that the course content and expectations for student work match the standards of the sponsoring post-secondary institution. Concurrent enrollment programs at the following colleges earned initial accreditation or reaccreditation: CONNECTICUT University of Connecticut* MINNESOTA University of Minnesota Crookston* IDAHO College of Southern Idaho Idaho State University MISSOURI Crowder College ILLINOIS Lewis and Clark Community College* KENTUCKY West Kentucky Community and Technical College PENNSYLVANIA Pennsylvania Highlands Community College UTAH Weber State University* WASHINGTON Everett Community College University of Washington – Seattle* NACEP Accreditation Commission Chair Jaclyn Dumond, Manager of School Partnerships at the University of Southern Indiana, remarked: “We are very excited to award this prestigious recognition to these eleven programs.

The high school students enrolled in their programs are, without a doubt, receiving the same quality education as they would receive on the college campus. We are very proud to recognize these institutions for their commitment to concurrent enrollment program excellence.” Dr. Jay Box, Chancellor, Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) stated: “With the development of the 2010-2016 Business Plan for Transforming Kentucky, KCTCS established a transformation strategy for dual credit that would ‘develop a consistent, statewide program of dual credit, using the NACEP standards as a framework.’ West Kentucky Community and Technical College (WKCTC) has not only implemented NACEP standards in its dual credit program but has also gone the extra mile of seeking and receiving NACEP accreditation. We are pleased that WKCTC is the first in Kentucky to obtain this high recognition and to also be the first program within the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) region to become NACEP accredited.” To earn accreditation from NACEP, concurrent enrollment programs conduct a self-study, document how their programs adhere to NACEP’s seventeen standards, and are evaluated by peer reviewers from NACEP-accredited programs. NACEP’s standards were developed and refined over many years, serve as a model for quality standards in sixteen states, and are implemented by a wide range of higher education institutions. The NACEP Accreditation Commission manages NACEP’s accreditation process, reviews Peer Review Team reports and makes accreditation decisions. NACEP-accredited programs recently elected Leslie Hardaway of NorthWest Arkansas Community College to join the Commission as a two-year postsecondary institutional representative. Becky Carter of Indiana University was reelected to another two year term as a four-year postsecondary institutional representative.
